O.k....I'm officially exhausted!! :-) Everyone warned me how little sleep you get...but I now know experientially what they mean! I do have some pictures to share...and let me tell you all this new stuff is gorgeous!!!

Just LOOK at this new paper from K & Co.!! I looooove it!!

I saw this in the K & Co. booth...and you KNOW I had to have a picture! The calender pages are printed on vellum!! :-)

We stopped by the Craft Lounge booth (doesn't it look fun??!!?) and got to see Cambria and Joy!!!

Among some REALLY cute stamps, they have some sparkly fun flock (the martini glass is filled with it) that looks and feels wonderful!!

Whew! What a day!! I have officially seen morepapercrafting goodies in one day than I have in my whole life!! :-) I know...that's a GOOD thing!! Well, without further ado...here's the top five picks for day two...

There are NEW JustRite goodies coming...WOOHOO!! Some of my favorite ones aren't even pictured here. You are going to LOVE them!!

This booth was the BOMB!! I loved every inch of it!!! Mmmm, mmmmm!!

I fell in LOVE with this fabric lace ribbon from May Arts!!

Oh, YEAH!!! New Cosmo Cricket!!!!

So, this isn't exactly "stamping related", but when we saw this sign we were just as excited as any of the other booths!! ROFLOL!!!
